EMERALD X7 Life Electro in Red
EMERALD X7 Life Electro in Red

The new X7 is the perfect balance between portability, playability and tone and it boasts an advanced carbon graphite and carbon fibre composite construction that means it can be used in difficult environments and survive where you would not dream of taking or risking a more “normal” guitar.

Compared to the consistently popular X5, the new X7 provide an alternative choice featuring a bigger body, in both width and depth, but with a reduced 24 inch scale length to help keep it very compact too.

The sound is big and rich for what is still a very small guitar and its light weight and compact design make it a great guitar for life on the road or off the road.

This model also features a "B Band” pick-up and preamp with built in tuner for convenience.

Songwriter Orchestra - VAOM06
Songwriter Orchestra - VAOM06

The Voyage-Air VAOM-06 is a full-size acoustic guitar that folds in half, so it can fit into a special backpack case - small enough to qualify as carry-on luggage for all commercial airlines AND with plenty of space for your laptop too - if you wish to carry just one bag on-board!

This model is an OM style (Orchestra Model) full scale (25 ½ inch) acoustic guitar with a solid spruce top, mahogany back, sides and neck and an Indian rosewood fingerboard.

The clever design and patented hinge system means you can fold the neck fully over, with the strings still attached and then transport it anywhere in its custom carry bag.

The carry bag is very clever too. Keep it small for just your guitar or zip attach the custom laptop bag section and this is the only bag you will need to carry on. Carry it or wear it on your back in either configuration - you choose.

And when you get where you are going simply fold back the neck, lock it down and you will only need to fine tune your guitar!

Yes that’s right, no need to buy a seat for your guitar, no worry of being forced to check it in the hold. No decision between your guitar or your laptop - take both!

So it saves you worry, money and it is a very fine guitar too!

EMERALD X5 Life Carbon Black
EMERALD X5 Life Carbon Black

For many people the key features of a "travel" guitar are size and weight but for others it means a guitar that will survive and excel in adverse conditions ... water, heat, sand, dirt and rough handling. Enter the Emerald range which deals with both sets of demands brilliantly .....

The Emerald X5 is a compact but full scale guitar that allows you to play in the way you are used to so you don’t need to adjust your playing style whilst offering great tone and volume that defies its size.

As with all Emerald guitars you will benefit from the highest standard of craftsmanship and they have spared no expense in putting all the best hardware on it while still keeping it at an unbelievably low price.

Don’t just think of the X5 as a travel guitar because it is so much more, in fact we would say that it is a great guitar that just happens to be small and incredibly tough and as its name says - a guitar for life.

This model is the X5 without pick-up and it is finished in CARBON BLACK.

ARIA Auditorium AF36 Mini Sunburst
ARIA Auditorium AF36 Mini Sunburst

There are plenty of  acoustic "travel" guitars around but none, in our opinion, can beat this little beauty for sound, quality of built and finish, or desirability. And, as far as value for money is concerned, this guitar is simply streets ahead too.

"Auditorium" is a name famous in the history of Aria and the AF Mini has been developed to provide the same pleasure to a whole new audience.

This Auditorium offers a rich sound, great and easy playability which will satisfy the widest range of guitarists from beginner to accomplished player. Solid mahogany back and sides with a solid spruce top which ensures that the brightness of your sound will simply increase as the guitar is used more and more.

Constructed with only the very best woods and components this Mini Auditorium Dreadnought has a scale of 576mm (22.75 inches) in a total length of 870mm (34 inches) and uses standard tuning.
